The guitar is a …
The guitar is a Guild X-170 Manhattan. They don’t make them anymore. It’s a maple laminate semi-hollowbody electric with SD1 pickups. In the video they have a microphone in one of the f-holes, one on the amp and probably another picking up ambient room sound. They mixed it so that you hear more of an acoustic sound than you will actually hear if you’re in a room playing the through an amp. I’m fairly certain the amp is an older American made Fender Blues Junior.

It’s a hollow body electric. It’s basically got a hollow body (no shit! lol) like an acoustic but with pickups like an electric guitar. No soundhole as well.

They’re just hollowbody guitars. The Beatles used like the gibson ES-335 if I’m not mistaken which costs thousands these days.

Can someone tell me what kind of guitar that is? Not the company but the kind of guitar. It does not look like a regular electric or acoustic guitar. I know I’ve seen The Beatles use it and i think Panic! At the Disco.

I miss Guild…what great necks! The real lesson here (for me anyway) is his thumb! It is behind the neck, not curled over it.

What else is there to modes except the fact that you change the root note?
